Happy Practicing!
Most jazz pianists aren’t stuck because they’re lazy — they’re stuck because they don’t have a path.
The Jazz Piano Roadmap shows you exactly what to practice and in what order.
The Proficient Jazz Pianist is my complete method for building real jazz piano skills — comping, solo piano, and improvisation — without guessing what to practice next.
Jazz Piano School was created by Brenden Lowe to help pianists stop guessing what to practice and start making real progress at the piano.
Everything here is built around a clear path for the skills that matter most:
comping, solo piano, and improvisation.
The starting point is The Proficient Jazz Pianist — the core step-by-step system that lays the foundation for confident playing.
From there, students can continue into the Jazz Piano School Membership, which builds on that foundation with live learning, deeper study, and community support.
The Jazz Piano Roadmap shows you how jazz pianists actually progress — with a clear, goal-based path for comping, solo piano, and improvisation.
If jazz piano has ever felt scattered or overwhelming, this will finally make it easy.

A few months ago, I purchased the handwritten music for the main theme of this song. I could somehow share it. Maybe take two photos as it is only two pages. It is the original manuscript. Maybe I can try and post on the facebook site.
Such a great course. So easy to understand and follow. Great way to learn and practice.
